Abstract

Genomics and transcriptomics research of the brain, accelerated by the development of sequencing technologies and genomic analysis methods, can reveal the genetic mechanisms underlying brain function, evolution, and development in various animals. This chapter first introduces the background of the recent technology of sequencing machines and analytical methods by bioinformatics, which makes possible the large-scale study of brains, and then presents recent results and achievements for brain function and evolution. Recent studies utilizing these emerging technologies are also introduced to demonstrate the power of large-scale analysis of genome and transcriptome for brain research. A perspective of international research projects for brain function is also introduced in the last section.
